High Availability on Server 2012??

Question

Server 2012 is Standard or Data Center, I keep seeing references to the option to create HA caches on 2012 but when I configure AppFabric 1.1 for a HA cache, I find an error in event log stating that I must be running Enterprise.

Can i install a appfabric cache in Windows Server 2012 (standard e/o datacenter) ?How can i configure the HA (High affidability) in Windows server 2012? Which operating system version (2012) should i buy ?Thanks

We just issued an update to AppFabric 1.1 to allow configuration of a Highly Available cache when running on Windows Server 2012 Std edition. You can get the update from here:
support.microsoft.com/.../2800726. After applying this fix, you should be able to create a named cache with High Availability turned on, running on WS2012 Std.
